Did you know that I'm not smart? You're just incompetent!

I'm not incompetent. I'm just too superior of a being to bother doing the dirty work like math. I have other people do that for me, so my brilliant mind can focus on other things, like eating food.

Well maybe. Everyone has different learning styles. You pick up on things easier than most. Most people rely on a teacher to show them the ropes. Most math teachers couldn't teach their way out of a torn paper bag...
